WELCOME
Welcome to OLLI!
Summer is the season for discovery. Just as the spring renews our planet, learning new things refreshes our minds with new thoughts, new perspectives and new goals. But “in with the new” doesn’t mean “out with the old”. Your past experiences may be someone else’s inspiration for growth and change in the future. Likewise, by talking and sharing stories with others you may discover a whole new world of possibilities. Established in 2004 at the University of Richmond School of Continuing Studies, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute operates through the support of its members, the University of Richmond, and through an endowment from the Bernard Osher Foundation of San Francisco. We combine intellectual stimulation and civic engagement with a vibrant community of like-minded students, age 50 and better. Pursue a special interest. Learn new skills and become involved with social issues. Learn computer basics. Engage in thought-provoking discussions over lunch. Relive history. Experience the arts. Rediscover your love of learning. And do it all on the beautiful University of Richmond campus. We offer an extensive array of courses in the liberal arts in the fall, spring and summer semesters. The offerings are a combination of undergraduate credit courses for audit, special interest mini-courses, free lectures, community service projects, and more. There are no entrance requirements, no tests and no grades. In fact, no college background is needed at all—it’s your love of learning that counts. If you’re 50 or better with a curious mind and a keen interest in learning, we’d love for you to join us.

If you would like to participate or lead an interest group, please contact the Osher Institute office at 2876344 or 287-6608, or complete the leadership opportunities form in this schedule.
Great Books Group
Is war necessary? Are people naturally selfish? What makes a great leader? Do you expect your friends to live up to the standards you’ve set for yourself? What is the purpose of government? Do you believe in “fate?” How do we know who we are? How can we be better citizens? Why is family loyalty so important? Should a judge be merciful or just? Is democracy for everyone? A Great Books group is really about Great Questions! Through in-depth discussion of short readings from Plato’s time to the present, we’ll look for modern, personal answers to questions like these, and pose a few questions of our own. To join this group or for more information contact Osher member John Bruns at URGreatbooks@comcast.net.
Great Short Stories Group
Who are Miss Emily, Eugene, and the German aviator, and why should we care? What do their imaginary lives have to do with our very real ones? Marcel Proust said that each reader reads only what is within himself. What can we find about ourselves in great short stories? Join us to enjoy some wonderful tales and, through discussion, discover what they mean to us. To join this group, or to learn more, contact Osher member John Bruns, at URStories@comcast.net.

Using demonstration on a leader’s laptop, we will be giving an overview of the “VISTA” Windows operating system along with some helpful hints on making it more user friendly
NEW! Richmond has a rich performing arts history, beginning with Quesnay’s “first academy of fine arts in America,” and continuing through the decades with surprising connections to Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and, of course, homegrown greats like Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.

The New Reality: Unity
NEW! We live at a unique moment in history when old structures are declining and new ones are emerging. As we often look to science to help define our reality, an important factor is that the new science of quantum physics indicates that linear thinking, dualism and materialism—the very foundations of the old institutions—are inherently flawed; they cannot be sustained. This class will look at the forces of transformation and the new forms based on Unity that are being created, like collaborative law, restorative justice, transformative mediation, permaculture, green architecture, and others. We will consider if they are our future and the role each person in the class may play in such a transition.

Shakespeare: Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing
NEW! We will study Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing with an emphasis on history and stage craft related to these plays. As an extracurricular activity, students may wish to attend a production of these plays. Henry V will be presented by the Richmond Shakespeare Theatre at Agecroft Hall and Much Ado About Nothing at Staunton's Blackfriars Playhouse. In studying Henry V, we “. . . deal with the greatest land campaign the English had ever yet conducted and with the nation's greatest land victory [namely the Battle of Agincourt], an almost impossible storybook victory . . .” (from Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare, by Isaac Asimov). In studying Much Ado About Nothing, we witness one of the most pleasant of Shakespeare’s plays, according to Mr. Asimov. It is a lusty, romantic and jovial play; it is perfect for the summer time — hot and sweaty. The goal for this class is to make Shakespeare vital, entertaining and not a dreaded high school-type experience for those of you who were not blessed with just the right high school teacher. Dates: Wednesdays, June 3, 10 and 17 Time: 10 a.m. – 12 noon CRN: 40602 Fee: $60 for Silver members; no fee for Gold or Gold Plus One members (fee does not cover cost of tickets for plays, which are available directly from theatres) Faculty: Sally Wood

Some Aspects of the Science Underlying Global Warming Predictions
NEW! Through performance, lecture and discussion, students will learn about New Orleans style jazz and the Jewish roots of George Gershwin’s music. Doctors of Jazz The Doctors of Jazz (DOJ) will share music and stories of the unique New Orleans style jazz that is their specialty. DOJ was organized at the University of Richmond in 1983 as The Academy of Saint Boatwright on the Lake, or ASBOL, and has performed ever since on the University campus, in the city of Richmond, throughout central Virginia and on six tours abroad. Besides the conventional Dixie Land repertoire, DOJ specializes in recreating performances of early New Orleans jazz, particularly those of Joe "King" Oliver's Creole Jazz Band from the early 1920s. Faculty: members of Doctors of Jazz (originally “ASBOL: Academy of Saint Boatwright on the Lake”) Gene Anderson, Clarinet; Martin Ryle, Trombone; Rob James, Cornet; Dick Dunsing, Banjo; Bill Barr, Cornet; Ben Anderson, Tuba; Paul Walaskay, Piano; Akira Suski, Drums. Jewish Music Influences on George Gershwin Through music, lecture and discussion, we will learn about the many connections between Gershwin’s compositions and traditional Jewish music. Leading this talk are members of Klezm’Or’Ami’m, a group of musicians from Congregation Or Ami, the only Reform Jewish congregation south of the James. Klezm’Or’Ami’m members participating in this session are Bill Moskowitz, clarinet; Steve Shapiro, piano; Bruce Gould, drums; and Marcy Horwitz, piano, accordion, keyboards and writer/narrator. Klezmer is dance party music with a Jewish soul. Klezmer influenced early jazz in America, and the opening of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” is a straight klezmer riff for clarinet.

Paul Cézanne: Painter of Provence
NEW! Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) stated that he “wanted to make of Impressionism something solid and enduring, like the art in museums.” Not an easy task, for the painter of Provence who was constantly dissecting the landscape into geometric patches of color that were on the verge of dissolving into abstraction. Aix-en-Provence, L’Estaque, Gardanne and Bellevue in the south of France provided the perfect setting for Cézanne’s explorations and experiments into discovering the geometric structure of nature, thus paving the way to Picasso’s and Braque’s 20th century Cubism. This seminar will focus on the artist’s glorious paintings and drawings of his native region, Provence. Special attention will be given to his series of nine oils depicting the massive Mont Ste. Victoire, as it loomed in the distance from his last home at Les Lauves.
